About the work

The city is burning like stories at 3:20 a.m.
You're online again, but it's like you're not with me.
My heart is on mute, we're playing “normal.”
But there's been a disconnect between us for a long time.

You love noise, I love the truth.
You love games — I'm not a player.
How much longer do we have to walk on the edge?
If everything is clear without unnecessary lines

Pre-Hook
No drama, no scenes
We both know where the moment is

HOOK
Don't fuck with my head — just say it
Are you with me or against me?
No pretty phrases, no lies
I'm tired of playing “forever”

Don't mess with my head — if you don't love me
Just leave, don't hold on
I'm not a backup, not your “just in case”
Either we burn — or we don't burn

Verse 2
We're like two tracks in different keys
We kind of sound like we're in tune, but we're not
You're about freedom, I'm about reality
You're about later, and I'm about now, look

I don't want to be someone's option
Number two — that's not my style
If you love — then without guarantees
But for real, not in chat

Pre-Hook
No need for words like “everything is complicated”
When everything is impossibly simple

HOOK
Don't mess with my head — just say it
Are you with me or against me?
No pretty phrases, no lies
I'm tired of playing “forever”

Don't mess with my head — if you don't love me
Just leave, don't hold on
I'm not a backup, not your “just in case”
Either we burn — or we don't burn

🔥 New Verse 3

I'm not your quest and I'm not your test
Not a test of “endurance”
If love is an excuse
Then we're both no longer in it

You write “I miss you” in the morning when you're drunk
During the day you disappear without a trace
I'm tired of being someone's pause
I choose myself

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I'm not toxic, I'm just honest.
I don't need your half-heartedness.
If you love me, be real.
If not, then just say no.

(a little louder)
I'm not your enemy, just a woman
who's tired of waiting for miracles.
I don't need your “maybe.”
I need a clear answer.


Don't mess with my head — time is running out
I won't stand in the shadows
Either we're an explosion on repeat
Or just strangers' lights

Don't mess with my head — decide now
No “later” and no “wait”
I want either all this jazz
Or silence. Go away.
